Conjoined twins with fused skulls successfully separated, doctor says

Twin girls with fused skulls were successfully separated, doctors at the Vatican’s pediatric hospital announced on Tuesday.
The twins, Ervina and Prefina Bangalo, were born with their skulls attached, sharing critical blood vessels near their brains. Doctors at the Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital, which is Vatican-owned but operates within the Italian public health system, performed the surgery.
The girls are now recovering and are expected to lead normal lives, according to their doctor.
